Nimhans will maintain a session amongst youth on ‘Mental Health, Wellbeing and Sports’ on Thursday, as part of a collection of deliberations underneath Y20, a discussion board for youth from all G20 member nations.

Around 270 youth from throughout the state will take part in discussions round subjects like diet, substance use, well being of younger moms, incorporating sports activities into way of life, and bodily and sexual violence.

Participants are primarily college students from varied disciplines like well being, commerce, administration, sports activities, and from NGOs. 

Nimhans is considered one of 15 establishments which were holding Y20 consultations, underneath the aegis of the central authorities’s Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports. 

“In addition to discussions among participants, some resource persons from educational institutions and NGOs will speak at the event,” stated Dr Pracheth R, Nimhans college and programme coordinator.
